Most of the baseball writers predict an- other failure but Terry Burke of the Star thinks they have a chance and through Tony Murallo, who has a restaurant in the Broadway district and is associated with bookmakers and gamblers, he bets $1. on them at 200 to 1. The opening game is a pitchers' battle, Whitpur, the Phila. delphia star twirler, is jealous of Larry Doyle, the Blues' rookie short- stop, because of Pop Clark's pretty daughter Frances, He tries to in- timidate Larry with a bean ball and when he throws a second one at Lar- ry's head Doyle knocks him down with a right to the chin. Larry is put out of the game. Later Whit- per hits a home run with a man on base but as Whitper is nearing the home plate, he drops dead, shot through the heart. The Blues win and it is generally believed that Whitper was killed to allow them to win. Detective Kelly suspects Larry' becanse he will not account for his time atter leaving the diamond.
